[For Elementary School Students] A Collection of Simple Handmade Gift Ideas

Small clay mascots that can sit on a tabletop test your attention to detail precisely because you’re aiming for a compact, easy-to-display size.

While you’re free to create whatever you like, it’s fun to build a unique world with things that don’t exist in reality—like a pig popping out of a flowerpot or a sheep blooming like a flower.

Paying close attention to details such as the pig’s and sheep’s coats to craft them finely adds realism, which in turn makes the finished piece’s strangeness stand out even more.

Using clays in a variety of colors for a colorful finish is a key point that enhances the joy of both the making process and the display.

Aquarium snow globe

[Kids’ Easy Craft] Everything from the 100-yen shop! Aquarium Snow Globe DIY — Perfect for Christmas or a Summer Vacation Project!

Let me introduce a refreshing aquarium-style snow globe.

Prepare liquid laundry starch (or glue), a sponge, a jar, miniature figures, ribbon, adhesive, glitter, and a chopstick.

Cut the sponge to the shape of the jar lid to make a base, then glue it in place.

Attach the figures onto the base using adhesive.

Put glitter into the jar, then add water and liquid laundry starch in a 1:1 ratio and mix well.

Close the jar with the lid that has the figures attached, making sure no air gets in, and you’re done.

Decorate it and create your own original snow globe!

A piggy bank with a wagging tail

How to Make a Tail-Wagging Piggy Bank [Paper Clay, Swan, Creative Piggy Bank]

When it comes to classic summer independent projects, a “piggy bank” is a staple.

The “Yucho Idea Piggy Bank Contest” held by Japan Post Bank is also well-known.

You might think, “Have all the ideas been used up by now?” but every year a lot of creative piggy banks appear.

So, here’s one to introduce: the “wagging-tail piggy bank.” The simple mechanism is that the weight of the coin you drop in makes the tail sway gently.

If you expand on this mechanism, you could adapt the idea to things like a fishing game or a dinosaur’s neck.

We recommend using air-dry paper clay, which you can paint once it dries!

Kirby Light

@miraino_mikata Has everyone made this before? You just wrap it around and it’s super easy! If you put in an LED light, a soft image of Kirby appears and it’s really cute, so I want everyone to try it! My child and I were saying we want to make Waddle Dee too, not just Kirby. It’s the Christmas season, so a snowman could be fun as well♪ Materials: • Glue • Thread (thinner looks nicer and the glue sticks better) • 2 balloons • Optional: add a face, etc., with origami paper //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// The “I can do it / you can do it” infinite loop.

♪ Isn't it enough to be just cute? – First Chorus – CUTIE STREET

Let’s recreate that round shape! Here are some ideas for a Kirby-shaped light.

When you think of Kirby, that cute round form comes to mind, right? Use a balloon to make Kirby’s spherical shape! You’ll need craft glue, a needle, thread, and a balloon.

Insert a needle threaded with string into the glue container, then wrap the glue-coated thread around the balloon.

Once everything is dry, pop the balloon and tidy up the shape.

Cut and paste the facial features from construction paper or origami, and you’re done! Try placing a light inside—when it’s lit, the atmosphere changes and it looks really fun!
